For this subset of countries, the prevalence of child marriage among men aged 20–24 ranges from 8.4 to 27.9%.

The practice appears most common among respondents living in the poorest households and in rural areas, and with no education or only primary schooling.

Men who married as children appear less likely to have comprehensive knowledge of HIV than their peers who married in adulthood.

Little difference among men who married by age 18 and those who married in adulthood was observed regarding knowledge or use of modern methods of contraception.

In almost all countries with data, the odds of having fathered three or more children among men aged 20–29 are higher for those who married as children compared to their peers.

In four countries, the odds of exceeding one’s ideal family size among men aged 40–49 also appear higher among those who married during childhood compared to men who married at older ages.
